Saving a rare and ‘picky’ wildflower

One of the rarest wildflowers in New Jersey – and the entire northeastern United States - is American chaffseed (Schwalbea americana), a perennial in the snapdragon family.

Chaffseeds rule, Pitch Pine drool.

The first picture on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife page looks familiar! I was wondering when the updated page was coming out on the America Chaffseed. The web designer contacted me about several of my photos and it is cool to see them being used to educated viewers.

Congrats on that Gibby. It is a great photo.

Years ago when I first learned of that plant, I was looking at the state webpage concerning the plant, and noticed the name of the photo was the location the plant was at. You had to download the photo to see the name, but in any event it was there. So I wrote them and soon after it was changed.

I think they spelled your name wrong. Look that photo over and tell me if I am correct.
